    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, the Chair cannot take responsibility over an issue in which an hon. Member goes back and says “Do not put my name” I am not a minute taker. I am the Chair of the Committee; I merely preside to ensure that there is order. But as to the responsibility of each hon. Member, you are elected and you know what you are supposed to do in Parliament. So, I do not take any responsibility for anything that someone else goes back and says This is what I think.” You can change your mind, hon. Speaker. Nothing is cast in stone. You have capacity and ability to make decisions as you deem fit and appropriate towards the conduct of business that you wish to conduct in this House, as long as it is within the Standing Order and the law. Hon. Speaker, Sir, the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) as I have stated has been set out in Article 251, which is of particular importance to the petition that was forwarded to us, which is dated 11th October, 2013. It was submitted to us by the Chair and committed for purposes of deliberation. I just want to read the Standing Orders with regard to petitions. Hon. Speaker, Sir, Standing Order 220(3) states as follows:- “The Clerk shall within seven days of the date of receipt of the petition review the petition to ascertain whether the petition meets the requirements of these Standing Orders and of the law.” The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
